AuthorTopic: Space station (Read 678 times)

It seems plans are afoot for the UK to have its own space station.Favoured location is in the north of Scotland and could see us launching small satellites-we are world leaders in the development and construction of these-as early as 2020.The location is favoured for its access to the polar orbits that are the principal aim for these satellites.It is reported that such a facility could bring in trillions to the economy.

There is rumour that Slim Phil might fiddle with tax relief on pensions to pay for the extra £20billion that the NHS has been promised. Wonder where the money for a space station would come from. Where did you get this information from, Baza?

If you are offended by anything I post, sorry. Just thought I'd get that in now.

It was on the news this morning Stemo.Lockheed-Martin were named as the company wanting to build/run the project,while it was a scientist who talked about the polar orbits.A local crofter expressed the opinion that it could/would be a good thing if it led to jobs and apprenticeships for the local youngsters.

Local Scottish crofters building a space station. Nothing like a bit of ambition.

We wont see none of it, Scotland will be a separate Country and a new EU Member if and when the money starts following in.
